Since the a few of the chapters are written to discuss
Voltaire’s anti-war satire, he used exaggeration to satirize inhumane
disciplinary practices of the Prussian Army by describing them as ‘heroes’ –
which are soldiers basically, who were turned into mere machines that can move
by itself. In addition to that , Voltaire described war itself as ‘glorifying’
and the killings and murders as ‘heroic’ butchery; as he is clearly disgusted
by the slaughter and wastes brought by war.
